If you're in the mood for a retro-inspired JRPG, then Endless Grades: Pixel Saga might just be the new entrant you've been waiting for. Don't let the name fool you; this isn't about college exams, but rather it's packed with plenty of engaging gameplay that feels like homework in the best possible way. This nostalgia-driven title is available now on Android and will be making its way to iOS on April 1st.

Endless Grades: Pixel Saga taps into the fond memories of classic RPGs, and while its visuals might not match the vibrancy of titles like Octopath Traveler, it still offers a visually appealing experience. You'll find yourself exploring vast worlds, collecting unique heroes, crafting your own equipment, and diving into dungeons to battle demons and gather upgrade materials.

One aspect that might split opinions is the game's use of the auto-battler mechanic. While this feature can be polarizing, if you're a fan of auto-battlers and are looking for a fresh aesthetic twist on the mobile JRPG genre, Endless Grades could be worth your attention.

With a wide array of features from hero collection to crafting, Endless Grades seems to cater well to new players. However, it's worth noting that the game's marketing of high SSR pull rates can feel a bit off-putting. It would be more impactful for the developers to let the game's impressive retro-inspired RPG elements shine on their own merits.
